For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Pandey For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Pawan Kumar Chaurasiya ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SHIVAJI PANDEY ORAL ORDER 13-09-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner is seeking bail in connection with Pachrukhi (Sarai) P.S. Case No.99 of 2015 for offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 448, 341, 323, 324, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

Earlier this Court vide order dated 26.2.2016 passed in Cr. Misc. No.57279 of 2015 has rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner. This Court has earlier stated that paragraph nos. 13, 14, 15, 34 and 35 of the case diary specifically show the involvement of the petitioner to have assaulted by the iron rod.

This Court has called for the status report. From the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.14531 of 2017 (3) dt.13-09-2017 report it appears that charges are still to be framed. In such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grain bail to the petitioner. Accordingly the prayer for bail is rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The trial court must ensure production of the witnesses and petitioner is also directed to co-operate in bringing the evidence so that the case would be completed within time. If the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
